Default auto trash to 0 instead of stack size

Post by skyyy »

Of the 27 items in my auto trash, 20 of them are set to 0, since I have no use for them anymore. Since the default amount for auto trash is the stack size, for each one I have to move the slider, and it's kind of annoying to have to do that on the most common case.

I suggest making the default amount to keep 0 instead of stack size. I'd be okay futzing with the slider in the relatively rare (5/27) case that I want to keep the stack size on hand.

I'd also like it if autotrash defaults to 0.

But it would go really well with smart interaction with logistic requests. Ideally you should be able to set autotrash to whatever you like and it gets "maxed" with logistic requests, so if you autotrash wood at 0, and logistic request 100 wood, then autotrash uses an implied value of 100 too instead of getting in a fight with logistic requests. Less ideally, autotrash could default to 0 or the current logistic request amount. Either way would speed up setting the common condition of "I want to keep exactly X amount of stuff".

+1, manually setting autotrash to 0 every time is annoying
